HI - Thanks for the reply!! Simpson Co is not to far north of Hancock and Harrison. Its always amazed me how people in those days moved around so much. We don't know very much about our Brown line. Here is what I have - Descendants of William Brown Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 BROWN married CELIA LAMBERT, daughter of NATHANIEL LAMBERT and CARRIE BOUNDS. She was born 1830 in Perry Co., Mississippi. Notes for CELIA LAMBERT: The Mother of Mary Louise (Lambert) Brown was given as Cecilia Lambert on Mary's death certificate. The person giving this information was William Maloy, Mary's son. Children of WILLIAM BROWN and CELIA LAMBERT are: 2. i. MARY LOUISE (MARY JANE)2 BROWN, b. 26 Mar 1850; d. 27 Mar 1943, Wiggins, MS. ii. JOSEPHINE BROWN. iii. FRED BROWN. iv. PAT BROWN. Generation No. 2 2. MARY LOUISE (MARY JANE)2 BROWN (WILLIAM1) was born 26 Mar 1850, and died 27 Mar 1943 in Wiggins, MS. She married WILLIAM M. MALOY, JR., son of WIL LIAM MALOY and HARRIET HON. He was born 23 Dec 1840 in Santa Rosa Co., FL, and died 13 Nov 1929 in Brooklyn, MS. Notes for MARY LOUISE (MARY JANE) BROWN: Birth and death dates taken from death Certificate. Maiden name was Mary Brown Age at death was 93 years. Father was William Brown Mother was Celia Lambert Buried beside husband William M. Maloy in Brookyn Cem. Also nicknamed Mary Jack. Notes for WILLIAM M. MALOY, JR.: William M. Maloy's (Jr.) death certificate states he was born in Santa Rosa County FL on 23 December 1840. However, at that time this area was still Escambia Co. and was later divided into two Counties in 1842. Therefore, William M. was probably born in the part of Escambia Co. which was later to become Santa Rosa Co. The death Certificate also states that his Father was William Maloy (Sr.) and his Mother was Harriet Fare Hon. Harriet Fare Hon must have seperated as William Sr. married Sarah Lawson and later, Martha E.Rickerson. No further information has been found on Harriet Fare Hon or whether she and William Sr. had other children. According to a family story , after William M. Maloy was born on 23 December 1840, some or maybe all of the family moved to Mississippi. William Maloy Jr.'s children were all born in MS. The youngest son, Albert Otha Maloy. was born 10 January 1885 near Rotten Bayou in Hancock Co. MS. At some point, the family apparently divided, some may have gone back to Florida and others into Lousiana. William Maloy Jr. and family remained in Mississippi and migrated north following the sawmills and timber trades. The family moved north from Hancock Co.,to Perry Co. between January 1885 and mid 1900 when the US Census was taken William Maloy Sr. died 1904 in LA. There is confusion on the middle initial of William M. Maloy (Jr.) as it it shown with the initial M. on his death certificate, the information being given by his son Willie Maloy ( William Edward Maloy). However, on William M. Maloy's headstone in the Brooklyn, Forrest Co., MS cemetery, it says William J. Maloy. Living members of the family say that William was always known as William Jackson and his wife Annie (Brown) was known as Mary Jack. It is possible that Jackson may have been nicknames. After the War of 1812, General and later to be President Andrew Jackson, was very famous in the south. Many people named their children after him. So, I am inclined to believe Jackson was William's nickname. Roy Eastes, Compiler Death Certificate states: Name- William M. Maloy Birth: 23 Dec 1840 - Died 13 Nov 1929 Place of birth was Santa Rosa Co. FL Name of Mother Harriet Fare Hon Maiden Name of Spouse was Mary Brown Age at death was 89 - yrs 10 mon. 20 days Buried in Brooklyn, MS Source of Information on the death certificate was listed as: Willie Maloy his son, William Edward Maloy. Estimate marriage for William Jr. and Annie Brown is - 1864-1867 ********************************************** On page 30, 1900 US Census for Beat 5, Perry Co., MS shows William Maloy as Head of house. It also shows wife Mary, daughter Leona and sons William E. and Albert. In 1906, Perry County was divided and part became Forrest Co. Line 89 of the 1910 US Census for Beat 5, Forrest Co., MS shows William E. as head of house with wife Leona also Albert as a son and Verlena as housae wife all living in the same house. In reality, William Edward was a brother to Albert and Verlena was Alberts wife and sister to Leona Then on line 94, William Maloy Jr. is shown with wife Leona, a son Edward and a daughter whose name could not be read. The truth may be that they were all living at the same residence and the enumerator made a mistake in his records. William Sr. nor William Jr. have been found in the west FL Census Records. Neither of the William or families have been found in the Census Records for Hancock or Harrison Co. MS. ] We know that all of William Jr.'s and Mary Lousie Brown's children were born in Hancock or east Harrison Co., MS. Albert was born in Hancock Co., MS on 10 January 1885 and they moved to Beat 5, Perry Co. prior to the Census of 1900. This places the northern move between 10 January 1885 and mid 1900. Since Perry Co. was divided in 1906, the location in Beat 5 Perry Co., in 1900 is probably close to or the same as the Beat 5 of Forrest Co., in 1910. *************************************************** (I thought you might like this ) Recall Pioneer Families, Early Sawmill days of Lumberton (MS) This Article was written by R. W. Hinton, Jr. and printed in the Lamar County News Golden Anniversary Edition (1913-1963) (Selected paragraphs are extracted for this document) (Editors Note- The author of this article is the oldest son of the Hintons who founded Lumberton. He recollects historical items about the town as far back as 1888. Throughout the article, he frequently refers to the "sawmill company" because Lumberton was settled by a sawmill firm and for many years was one of the biggest sawmill towns in this area.) The mill company soon changed the name to Lumberton in the spring of 1884. For several months, the company had to go to Piatonia to ship lumber and get mail and express. At that time, a Mr. Garrison, the late Mrs. Chalmers Rouse's father was living in Piatonia and had a small mill and store. Our first depot was an old boxcar set up in the side track. The first mill was a small one located where Jim Batson lives, the foundation of the planing mill engine is in his yard to this day. Henry Pitts Hinton was an engineer and timber estimator and was sent in this territory as stated above to buy up timber lands for this English Syndicate. Pitts found that some of the natives in here were only squatters and didn't own the lands they were living on. He would locate the lands for them, and explain the Homestead laws to them, fill in their applications and sent to the land office in Jackson, thereby saving a number of homes for the natives he found there Main Avenue, almost as it is today was the public road from Columbia, Williamsburg and up to the market in Pass Christian. They would go there, farmers and merchants, twice a year in their large schooner wagons to market. Then the Columbia merchants began to have their merchandise shipped to Lumberton. I remember Mr. Ed Lampton, coming over after his goods and staying at my father's house overnight. Mr. Lampton would come over with large wagons with oxen and haul freight from here to Columbia. By the way, the Hinton boys and tH. A. Camp were first cousins, their mothers were sisters and lived on adjoining farms in Georgia. Since they had a larger mill the company began to build logging roads, first east of here and soon they were eight or nine miles out towards where the Gulf & Ship Island railroad was going through from Jackson to Gulfport. When Gulfport was founded, they soon had a harbor there and was shipping lumber by export. The mill company saw the advantage of this connection and built their road and connected with the F. & S. I. at Maxie about 16 miles east. For a good many years, our train and crew would take a train of lumber to Gulfport and return with empties for the next days loading. Soon after we had this connection, the mill company declared a holiday. One 4th of July got box cars and cabooses and took the whole town to Gulfport for a days outing in the Gulf (of course it was the first time most of us had ever seen the water, so you know it was thoroughly enjoyed). Then some cheap timber was to be had west of here and the mill company began loggin in that direction also. Soon the end of the road was beyond Baxterville, so they conceived the idea of building on to Columbia, which was a thriving interior town, the G. & S. I. built a road from Mendenhall to Columbia so that gave a line through here from Maxie to Mendenhall, called the Lumberton, Columbia & Gulf. The mill company soon sold the branch road to the G. & S. I. and they operated it until all the timber was exhausted when it was abandoned from Maxie to Columbia. <<<<<<<<<<<<< End >>>>>>>>>>>> Children of MARY BROWN and WILLIAM MALOY are: 3. i. L V. (LONEY)3 MALOY, b. 14 Feb 1873, MS; d. 15 Mar 1949, Brooklyn, Forrest Co. MS. 4. ii. ANNIE MALOY, b. 17 Feb 1883, Pass Christian, MS; d. 26 Nov 1967, Gulfport, Harrison Co., MS. 5. iii. ALBERT O.
